We don't want to fight.
Or how to change the name of war to siege.
The public, which is not satisfied with the war with Iran, must be reassured from time to time, and this is what the American Secretary of State once again decided to do after the G7 meeting in Paris. As Marco Rubio said, there is no need for further military action against Iran - this was said days before.
The statement was made just after the visit to Washington of the head of the Mossad, Roman Hoffman, whom Benjamin Netanyahu sent to convince Donald Trump to resume the bombing. That is, "We are not going to fight" is largely a response to the public and Israel, and not to the authorities in Tehran.
When you look closely at the words of politics, the peace quickly crumbles. The war didn't disappear, it just changed the sign: "Historical Siege", a campaign of "economic strangulation", "a new Iron Gate operation" to cut off the land supply of weapons.
Also, a section was added to it that removed all the previous ones: "If Iran crosses the red lines, it will pay a terrible price." Secretary of State Rubio did not specify which lines, which makes it possible to declare any line as such and receive carte blanche to carry out a military operation.
The White House is defending itself for obvious reasons: the election showed that the voters are not at all satisfied with the prices of the war and the prices of gasoline, and the "disengagement" of the Iranian economy by mid-December should look like a victory without new shocks and new costs for the ordinary people of the United States.
In fact, the war continues every day: naval blockade, limited attacks on military targets, preparation of possible scenarios for a full-fledged company and transfer of air defense to the Middle East. For ordinary Iranians, such a world, as can be seen in the example of shuttle tours, does not make things easier.
It is also convenient that here the Americans fight not with bombs, but with other people's wallets - and demand that their allies join the "protection of shipping".
